Over the past 15 years since Ian's death the award has helped launch the careers of some of the finest contemporary photographers working in our industry today and is now considered to be one of the most influential international photographic awards.

This year we are delighted to announce the publication of our book 'Eyes Wide Open' which illustrates the remarkable work of a new generation of photojournalists all with one thing in common, they are winners of our award.

Stories by photographers Simon Roberts, Declan Shanahan, Harriet Logan, Marcus Bleasdale, Jeremy Sutton-Hibbert, Amelia Troubridge, Robbie Cooper, Jonas Bendiksen, Sam Faulkner, Leticia Valverdes, Ziyah Gafic and Leonie Purchas

The Book is a celebration of what the award has achieved in Ian's memory. This limited edition hard backed 200 page book has been superbly designed by Tony Chambers, Creative Director of Wallpaper magazine, and Pete Winterbottom, Art Director of Conde Nast Traveller, with a forward by our patron Don McCullin.

"The Ian Parry Scholarship is not an event where you get a shiny trophy, a cheque, a handshake and then a fond farewell. This is a community, comprising of all of the friends of Ian, the majority of whom never knew him but who have all become part of his legacy."
Aidan Sullivan, founder and friend
